How compatible are the red, white, and black mulberry species for interspecific grafting. I ask because I have a very nice looking mulberry that is growing into a nicely sized tree that will likely be very large. It is derived from a cutting of an old tree from either milton or bagdad, FL. Bagdad, FL an old lumber port about IIRC 1840 had a silk industry and I assume that some trees were planted for it. But I do not believe that mulberry trees live that long. Anyway I was hoping for decent berries on this thriving tree. The berries are tiny and I would like to graft the tree over to something else.
So are mulberry trees compatible with other mulberry species relative to grafting?
